crowbar and acquiring weapon

[makolaforge]

hello a simple question ca you use a crowbar to add a die for strenght check when trying to acquire a boon and in particular a weapon?

[Michael Klaus]

Yes you can use a crowbar to acquire another crowbar or a Melee weapon and maybe something else that let's you make melee check.
I know it might sound odd but mechanically it is correct so you just have to imagine that you crack a chest open that contains the sword or the axe is stuck in a giant skeleton and you pry it out.

I'll just mention this because your wording could be misinterpreted:

You can't use a weapon for a Melee check unless the Weapon has a really unusual power. By default, Weapons are only used for Combat checks and most (all?) weapons do not have a Combat check to acquire.

[makolaforge]

i meant can you play a crowbar card and so add 1 die to a strenght test for acquiring a weapon boon.

[Hawkmoon269]

As long as that weapon is requiring a non-combat strength check for you to acquire it. So, it would help you acquire a Longsword. It would not help you acquire a Shortbow.

[Vic Wertz]

The Crowbar helps with noncombat Strength checks, so if you're able to use Strength to acquire the weapon, you're able to use the Crowbar to boost that.

[James McKendrew]

But, for example, the Blessing of Shax my Monk encountered Tuesday night requires a Combat (or Divine) check to acquire, so, no crowbarring allowed.
